Cursed Milk

I traded our last hope for a promise of gold
A broken table in a dark room, hands running cold
Father's eyes burned deep, said, "Boy, you knew-
We needed that milk more than we needed you"

Now I'm grazing fields under the setting sun
Hooves on the earth where I used to run
I feel the weight, the shift, the burn
There's no going back, no return

I once had a name, now I wear the shame
A bell around my neck, nothing's the same
His curse runs deep, it's inside my veins
Grass in my mouth, heart full of chains

He whispered low, with a tear in his eye
"You'll learn the price of a father's goodbye"

Now I'm grazing fields under the setting sun
Hooves on the earth where I used to run
I feel the weight, the shift, the burn
There's no going back, no return

The milk flows, and the world keeps turning
But inside me, something's still burning
If I could scream, if I could shout
I'd beg for mercy, I'd find a way out

But I'm grazing fields under the setting sun
Lost in the world where I once belonged
I feel the weight, the shift, the burn
There's no going back, no return

(There's no going back... no return...)
